Correct, Mr 440-6 Mopar,

My error,,,,

Also, as per the 'January 1963' Chrysler Internal Literature,,,,,,,

The 383 was to be available with a
* 383/305 HP......with 10.0-1 Compression (2-Barrel)......Dodge Polara 500 'only'.
* 383/320 HP......with 11.0-1 Compression (4-Barrel)
* 383/325 HP..... with 11.0-1 Compression ('Dual-Quad')

Yet, they came up with a 383/330 HP.......with 10.0-1 Compression (4-Barrel) only combination.

And plans for a 426-S 'Street-Wedge'
* 426/370 HP
* 426/375 HP

Neither made it......

Performance Results

* Dodge Polara, 383/330 HP - 4-Speed - 3.23 Gears.....................................15.70 @ 87 MPH

* Dodge Polara, 383/330 HP - 4-Speed - 3.91 Gears (Dealer Installed).......15.10 @ 91 MPH
